The equation of line q is y=16x−5. Line r, which is parallel to line q, includes the point (6,2). What is the equation of line r? Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as simplified proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.
Q. The equation of line q is y=16x−5. Line r, which is parallel to line q, includes the point (6,2). What is the equation of line r? Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as simplified proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.
Parallel Lines Slope: Line r is parallel to line q. Parallel lines have the same slope. Slope of line q: 61 Slope of line r: 61
Finding Y-Intercept: For line r: Slope (m): 61 Point: (6,2) Plug these values into y=mx+b to find the y-intercept. 2=61(6)+b 2=1+b b=1
Equation of Line r: For line r: Slope (m):61y-intercept (b):1 Substitute 61 for m and 1 for b in y=mx+b. y=61x+1
